I’m getting fairly excited about the iPhone project I’m working on and I wanted to share it with you all. Me and my project partners are getting closer and closer to determining the final form of the application(s) and it’s functionalities. That is on paper of course. I’ll give out more details about the exact functionalities later on. We are currently presenting a keynote to a couple of interested individuals and companies who could be of great help in the development. But more about that later, as I said before. What I can share with you is a couple of my favourite resources.

RESOURCES (Part 1):

- As I mentioned before, I’m reading this great book by Erica Sadun called “The iPhone Developer’s Cookbook, Building Applications With The iPhone SDK”. This book has been a great help to me this far. Well structured, well documented and full of useful recipes and source code. Get it at Amazon, Play.com or Bol.com.

- I found that they give iPhone Developer classes at the university of Stanford. How cool is that? Wish they had classes like that at our school Anyway, they have an online resource site where you can check out source files, class material and more. I have to say it’s quite impressive. See for yourself.

- The iCodeBlog is cool aswell to check out a random tutorial. This dude owns FreshApps.com aswell, a site where you can rate iPhone applications.

I’ll tell you more about other resources along the way.

MOBISTAR AND THE IPHONE

When I heard Mobistar was going provide the iPhone on the Belgian market I was a little pissed, their 3G-network isn’t as good as Proximus’.

When I heard Mobistar was pricing the iPhone at €525 (8GB) and €615 (16GB) I was even more pissed. These prices are far to high in comparison with other countries.

And now Mobistar is offering the iPhone at €99 + a €25 payment each month during 18 months. I’m guessing a lot of impulsive people will jump on this deal but who wants to pay €25 each month without even having some kind of data plan. This is another nasty trick by Mobistar. They’ll probably fool a lot of people. I read about this on Ronny Welter’s blog, I just wanted to post my own opinion about this.

Anyway, this has been written quite fast after my first post about this subject. I guess I’ll never be able to keep up posting at this rate. I hope some of you actually read this, give me some feedback.

Thanx
